    Default G'day from down under

    G'day,

    My name is Jackson and I hail from Perth, Western Australia.

    Currently growing a big bushy beard, that I don't cut in either but recently given a razor by my Pop. I have had knives of all sorts and steel grades over the years and always wanted to get into straight razors eventually, so here I am

    Hoping to connect with fellow aussies too!

    Cheers

    Welcome from the commonly confused Austria where there are no kangaroos. Lots of cool info and a huge swath of collectors to glean from. Enjoy your stay and at least consider a proper shave some day.

    Welcome to the forum. You've come to the right place to learn about straight razors and their use. If you go to the International Forums section you will see a Down Under sub forum. You will find some like minded Aussies there. If you have any questions feel free to post them and our members will be happy to answer them for you. Enjoy your stay.

    Can send you a kangaroo if you'd like

    Will shave it off eventually. Probably when I go up north and it's 47 degrees C and the joy of having a beard wears thin

    Welcome to the family. Ask all the questions you want. Post a photo of the razor. Enjoy the journey.

    Welcome from the great white north.

    You have some very capable SRP veterans in Oz. I’m sure they will join in welcoming you to our forum.

    Suggest you read through the beginners section on the Home page and scan the library for suggestions h=on how to get started.

    Enjoy your new hobby.

    Hello Gimli, welcome to the forum. I'm in Canberra now for some work, staying in Oz for about 6 weeks. I've got a friend in Perth, wish I could visit, but it doesn't seem feasible this time around. Australia is a beautiful country, and people are very nice, friendly and helpful to us foreigners. Anyway good to have you, hope you enjoy the conversation...and get rid of that beard hah! (just kidding, all in good time eh)
